PPA Approved Print Cases

PPA Approved Print Cases

If you want your prints returned to you after the competition, you must submit them in an approved print case. All images received in unapproved print cases will not be returned.

Approved shipping cases are defined as those intended for reusable shipping of photographs or artwork. These would generally include straps, zippers, or twist type clasps and a space to attach shipping labels. Cases should not be shipped to us inside another box.

Containers such as portfolio cases used for storage or for hand carrying artwork, cardboard or homemade cases and boxes are not considered approved shipping cases. In addition, unserviceable cases are defined as any case that requires special handling (i.e., cases with missing or partially missing handles, or those requiring packing tape, string, rope, etc.).

Once again, images that are shipped in unapproved or unserviceable cases will not be returned.

Print cases that are made specifically for shipping photographs and art are available many places. Following is a partial listing of suppliers that should be able to help you:
